Baby Cardinals 2012

noreply@blogger.com (BossKitty) — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 21:51:00 +0000

Found a nest full of eggs one spring morning. Next morning 3 of the eggs had hatched. Amazing these ugly little things would evolve into beautiful Cardinals. I was very careful not to get too close and leave my scent behind.

I watched from afar until all the babies left the nest.

Jackass Rabbits

noreply@blogger.com (BossKitty) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:07:00 +0000

This is a Texas Jackrabbit.
Jackrabbits are actually hares, not rabbits. Hares are larger than rabbits, and they typically have taller hind legs and longer ears. Jackrabbits were named for their ears, which initially caused some people to refer to them as "jackass rabbits." The writer Mark Twain brought this name to fame by using it in his book of western adventure, Roughing It. The name was later shortened to jackrabbit.

There are five species of jackrabbits, all found in central and western North America. They are speedy animals capable of reaching 40 miles (64 kilometers) an hour, and their powerful hind legs can propel them on leaps of more than ten feet (three meters). They use these leaps and a zigzag running style to evade their many predators.

Just sharing some of my backyard.

Crested CaraCara

noreply@blogger.com (BossKitty) — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 18:29:00 +0000

These are the most remarkable birds in my neighborhood. They are beautiful to see.
I always have a good day when I see them on my way to work.
NAME DERIVATION: The scientific name comes from poly, the Greek word for many or varied; boros, meaning gluttonous and remarks on the bird’s voracious appetite; and from the Latin word plancus, which is a word Aristotle used for an eagle. The common name, caracara, is what South Americans called the bird and probably imitates the sound of the bird. This bird has been called Caracara Eagle, King Buzzard, Mexican Eagle, Audubon’s Caracara, and Mexican Buzzard. The scientific name of this bird was formerly Caracara cheriway.
INTERESTING FACTS:

* Unlike other members of the falcon family that do not construct nests, the caracara builds a stick nest.

* The caracara is the most terrestrial bird in the falcon group. It spends a great deal of time on the ground.

Big Coon

noreply@blogger.com (BossKitty) — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 22:45:00 +0000

Big Coon was the Mother of three, she would bring her kids to the barn at dinnertime and dine with the Barn Cats. This was allowed after I spent a whole evening explaining the table manners required to join the Barn Family. She was kind enough to agree to my terms, taught her children my rules and they never bothered their dinner mates again. All the coons would wait in the tree outside the Barn each evening when I fed. After setting out piles of cat food onto the many plates, I could hear them come down from the tree and sneak into the Barn through a hole in the corner.

The Legend of BossKitty

noreply@blogger.com (BossKitty) — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 21:54:00 +0000

More original BossKitty. This was an amazing feline. She had six litters before she was caught and her incentive to procreate removed. She became domestic and proceeded to become ruler of the cats, dogs and horses. She learned english and put herself through college. She encouraged her personal human to continue creative endeavors.
She moved to central Texas, with several of her children, where she lived out her productive life at the age of 14 human years.
